Indeed you were, every bit as polite as me. And I'm probably happier not knowing what you say to telemarketeers.. But getting out of the bathroom just to answer the phone? That's TOO polite. I just let it go to voicemail; I refuse to give the telephone that much power in my life. I know people who can just let the phone ring while they're in the room, but I don't understand how they can do it. I seem to remember always having to answer the phone, even when I have an answering machine. I was perfectly happy letting voicemail take over at work, but home is different. Maybe I'd change if I got more than a few telemarketers/day. OTOH, yelling at them is free therapy. That's what Caller ID is for. If it is unknown are a number we don't recognize, it goes to voicemail. I should pay extra to know who's calling when it's free if I just pick up the phone? Besides, everybody I know has caller-ID blocking ON MY ADVICE! I've taught them to do *82 before calling my cell, which they are instructed to do only if it's NEEDED, not just to chat, so I can use it as a free pager. Oh wait, you still use Netscape 4... And Mozilla 1.4, but the mail/news is less attractive. I've downloaded 1.5 but it keeps screaming that it can't find an essential library which is right there where it should be. **** like that is almost as bad as windows. -- Cheers, Bev --------------------------------------------------------------- "Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket." -- George Orwell |

(c: NS 7 which has no kill files. How is that an improvement? Moz 1.4/linux does, in a pitiful sort of way. The win version is probably better, but I feel that if we have self-discipline we have no need of killfiles, -- Cheers, Bev --------------------------------------------------------------- "Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket." -- George Orwell |

I still use separate programs for browsing the web, email and newsgroups. Then I can have the best of each world (or the best for me rather). I do suppose though that NS4 users don't care so much if the web looks good or not, they are there for the information... No, people who feel that way use lynx or one of the other text-based browsers. NS4.x looks OK as long as the web"masters" don't do anything stupid with their code, and it's possible to devise your own color and font schemes (yes, another time-waster) if The Netscape Cognoscenti trust you with little bits of unpublished information. -- Cheers, Bev --------------------------------------------------------------- "Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket." -- George Orwell |
